House Democrat Promises Kavanaugh Investigation if Party Wins Control
NYTimes ^ | October 5, 2018

WASHINGTON — House Democrats will open an investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct and perjury against Judge Brett M. Kavanaugh if they win control of the House in November, Representative Jerrold Nadler, the New York Democrat in line to be the chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said on Friday.

Speaking on the eve of Judge Kavanaugh’s confirmation vote this weekend, Mr. Nadler said that there was evidence that Senate Republicans and the F.B.I. had overseen a “whitewash” investigation of the allegations and that the legitimacy of the Supreme Court was at stake. He sidestepped the issue of impeachment.

“It is not something we are eager to do,” Mr. Nadler said in an interview. “But the Senate having failed to do its proper constitutionally mandated job of advise and consent, we are going to have to do something to provide a check and balance, to protect the rule of law and to protect the legitimacy of one of our most important institutions.”

Mr. Nadler’s comments resembled those of Senate Democrats who pushed aggressively for an F.B.I. investigation into allegations by three women — Christine Blasey Ford, Deborah Ramirez and Julie Swetnick — that Judge Kavanaugh had engaged in sexual assault or misconduct. Democrats said the resulting investigation fell far short of legitimacy. And they have questioned whether Judge Kavanaugh was truthful in his testimony about a number of issues, including his drinking habits, before the Judiciary Committee.

Remember that old saw about good people doing nothing. Well...General Eisenhower sure showed the German civilian populace what doing nothing resulted in. He force marched them into the concentration camps to show them the atrocities they had cause by doing nothing. Darned if he didn’t make them work in there too, cleaning up the piles of bones and bodies, cleaning out the furnaces.

Get you and yours out to vote! Speak out loud and clear.

Spread the word. A vote for the Party of Satan is a vote for endless politicized witch-hunts.

Please throw me into that briar patch. Ford’s lawyers say them don’t want impeachment of Kavanaugh. They fear what a real investigation of Ford and her accomplices might reveal.

“We Prefer Civil War” will be a popular T-shirt, bumper sticker, yard sign, and coffee mug before long. It is becoming insufferable dealing with the left to the point where it needs to be communicated.

I'm praying that Kavanaugh's attorneys file a defamation lawsuit the moment he takes his hand off the Bible.

The Democrats want this nefarious plot to see the light of day? Please.

First the DNC TRIED to subvert President Trumps election with manufactured lies about Russian collusion. Now they are busy manufacturing false accusations against Kavanaugh. The DNC should be declared a subversive organization and enemy of the state!
